Castle Crashers is one of the best Beat ‘Em Ups since the good ol’ days of pushing quarters into arcade cabinets. Getting the remastered treatment is no surprise for such a fan favorite. The new coat of paint makes the game feel fresh. Players who may have already played through Castle Crashers on the Xbox 360 should jump in on the One for free, import their characters, and try out Insane mode for a new and much more difficult challenge. Players who have no prior experience with Castle Crashers should take a good look at themselves in the mirror and ask “what have you been doing?” Honestly, what have you been doing? It’s a ton of fun, it’s hilarious, and it’s a must own for fans of Beat ‘Em Ups.
